Peril of Her Own Life.
 PITTsBURG, Dec. S-As the train on the Erie and Pirtsburg road drew into the depot yesterday morning Charles White and wife, of Erie, and their 4-year-old child, en route to Altoona, stepped from the train to walk on ;the platform for few moments. The child ran from the platform on to the track as freight train approached. Everybody expected to see it crushed to death. The members of the Verona Jarbeau company were boarding the train to go on to Johns town. Miss Jarbeau saw what had hap. pened, ran across the platform and first track, reached the child, and by herculean effort succeeded in drawing the little one away just before the train rushed over that portion of the track where the child stood. The train passed so closely that it threw Miss Jarbeau upon the ground, but neither the lady nor the child was hurt.

what school Girls Eat.

The Association of Collegiate AlumnB
Of Boston have issued q pamphlet full Of
statistics Of what school girls eat and do
not eat in New York and Boston. Out Ct
ninety girls who were questioned at ore
of the public schools it was ascertained
that twelve had eaten no breakfast. OF
these twelve, six had brought no lunch
con; The other six had cake, pie and
pickles, or similar indigestible food. A
story is told Of four girls-an English, q
French, a German and an American girl
who were taken to restaurant and in
vited to call for the food that each woud
like. The English girl ordered roasted
beef, the German girl sauer kraut and
brown bread, the French girl called for
pate de foie gras and the American girl
without hesitation ordered pink ice cream
and cake.-Chicago Times.

But how shall we explain the ''second
sight of our dark cabinet wizards, or
that much more undoubted faculty of
sseeing in the dark" which a Samarkand
coniurer proved to the satisfaction Of a
rather skeptical modern traveller, Pro-
fessor Americus Vambery the foremost
Orientalist of our century. The wizards
sanctum was a tent erected among the
bazars of the open market place, but so
well draped with shawls and mats that
not the faintest gleam of ligl5 could pene-
trate the gloom of the interior. An Eng
lish officer, who had thought it worth
while To invest tie small entrance fee, att
tested that in that absolute darkness Of
his den the wizard had been able to dis
tinguish the printed from the blank leaves
Of an open book; but remembering that
white paper might shine with a light Of
its own, Professor Vambery proposed
a more critical test, and got his SER
want to procure piece of charcoal and o
small board. After waiting in vain for
his eyes to ssget used to the darkness, -
which, at the end Of FIVE minutes, seemed
as absolute as ever, he put the board on
his knee and softly marked it with four
teen black spots and then held it up over
his head: Count that, CHI HGkim. !"
Hall a score and afourth" fifteen spots,
said the seer after minutes pause.
'sYou guessed it very nearly" laughed
the professor, shut there arc only four
teen, If my memory serves me right"
ut doesn't, then, - was the reply, and,
withdrawing one of the shawis, the
wizard admitted light enough to reveal
the disputed fifteenth spot--a email knot
hole in the center Of the board The
second and third time he discounted that
center spot, and when Professor Vambery
left the tent he admitted that its proprie-
tor must have either q gift Of divination
or pair of owl eyes. Felix L. Oswald in

was in Bonaventure's store the other
afternoon when the door opened, and
what at first glance looked to me to be a
small boy came in. In moment more
saw that it was little old gentleman,
nearly doubled up with some spinal weak
ness and very shabbily dressed, but
cleanly withal His face was perfectly
spider webbed with wrinkles, and his pale
blue eyes seemed to swim in moisture in
side their red and tiabby lids. He walked
dragging his feet on the ground, and was
perfect picture of reckless senility
painful to contemplate. He exchanged
some low words, in French, with the
bookseller, and put little package in his
hand. Bonaventure unwrapped the
clumsy covering, and 10, superbly bound
little Illuminated missal was revealed.
The bookseller took his visitor apart and
after some argument gave him several
bills of considerable amount each, when
the old man shuflied away.
"There said Bonaventure who has o
Frenchmans talent for resolving even
commonplaces into romances, goes q last

some Excuses.

(All married men and all contemplating
matrimony viii find it to their advantage
to carefully memorize the following list
of plausible excuses for coming home at
2 A. NJ or later. They have been CON-
piled for Tid-Bi by benedict of long
experience)
You may state that,
You dropped in to see friend and
found him dangerously i'll with the rheu-
matism and remained athis urgent request
to cheer him up with sprightly repartee;
You met a clergyman who used to lie
one of your college friends and yielded
to his pressing invitation to accompany
him home; you have spent the evening
in his study engaged in discussion Of
heathen missions;
You have been at the Office looking
over the books and are too tired aud wor-
ried to talk
The clock is wrong;
You have been discussing a great
moneymaking scheme with wellknown
uuduClCIS anu IL goul SApCIbdttohS aio
realized she shall have new sealslSin
sacque;
Your watch stopped and you had no
idea that it was SO late;
You were run over by truck On your
way home at 10 o clock; you were taken
to drug store; you would not permit
the bystauders to send for your family.
because you felt that you would soon be
ableto walk; you are much better now, ard
think that all you need is perfect quiet.
In conclusion, let me say that some tact
must be exercised in using these excuses.
Don't be too anxious to tell your little
story; on the other hand, beware of APP
pearing too careless .and light hearted.
Don't oyerdo the matter; don't tell too
elaborate a tale, or you will trip yourself
up. Just make a plain statement of the
alleged facts and leave your hearers
imagination to supply the details And
remember that virtueis its own reward.

The Latest Thing in Weddings.
New York Sun. 4

The latest thing in weddings is foR the
bride and groom to keep as profound
secret the direction Of the bridal "trip.
They give out that they are going.sto
Washington or Niagara. Then they go
to some hotel, and leave at q convenient
time the next morning on their journey.
Sometimes in the spirit of fun, mischiev-
GUS friends find out the destination Of
the bridal couple, and send their congrst-
ulat1ons to their hotel. A case
of the kind occurred recently in Brook
Ign. The groom had been party to
wedding jokes himself, and he took. as
he supposed, every precaution to prevent
his being traced. All inquiries were
baffled. He got driver that could net
read. He drove over the bridge and
dismissed the driver, and then drove in
another coach to an up town hotel. He
thought he had evaded all the fun makers.
The next morning the bridal couple
started for Washington by the Pennsyl-
vanis route. What was their astonieh-
nent to find q family delegation at the
depot to bid them good morning, and to
wish them Joy on their wedding trip.
But how the secret leaked out is q mys-
terry that the groom has been unable to
